Patricia Louise Klipp, 83, formerly of 1600 E. Main St., Waynesboro, Pa., passed away Sunday, Nov. 11, 2012, peacefully at her home near Ann Arbor, Mich. She had been in hospice care since August.
Mrs. Klipp was the daughter of the late Cecil Wellington and Mabel Elizabeth (King) Gross. She was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Herbert Angle Klipp Jr. and her sister Shirley Jean Jones Nolfi.
Patricia loved her home and friendships here in Waynesboro and treasured her children and grandchildren. She is survived by her five children, Stephen A. Klipp (Denise) of Waynesboro, Pa., David A. Klipp M.D. (Sandra) of Ann Arbor, Mich.; Cecelia A. Rowland (Philip) of St. Louis, Mo., Laura J. Klipp of New York, N.Y. and Melissa L. Klipp (Roger) of Mendham, N.J.
She leaves behind eight grandchildren, Jeremiah Tosten, Ryan Klipp, Mark Rowland, Stephanie Klipp, Timothy Rowland, Matthew Klipp, Ross Klipp-Kaplan and Caroline Klipp-Kaplan, three great-grandchildren as well as several nieces and cousins.
Patricia, a Registered Nurse, trained at the Washington County Hospital, in Hagerstown, Md., and worked at the Waynesboro and Washington County Hospitals for many years. She then received her Bachelor and Master's degrees in Public Health from Millersville University. She served the students at East Junior High, Fairview Elementary and St. Andrew's Parochial School for over 20 years.
St. Andrew's Catholic Church was Patricia's place of worship, Christian service and loyal friendships for several years. The family extends its gratitude for the cards and notes from the members and especially the sweet drawings and letters from the children of the Sunday school there. Memorial donations may be made to St. Andrews Catholic Church for Sunday school supplies and teacher recognition.
A private committal service will be held at Green Hill Cemetery in Waynesboro. The children of Patricia Klipp will receive friends and family for Afternoon Tea at the Evangelical Lutheran Church Parlor, 43 S. Church St. in Waynesboro on Friday, Nov. 23, 2012, from 3 to 5 p.m.
